Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Letter from Xiliang
Zheng Qingxue showed a look of resentment, and with a hint of sadness, she stared at King Lu word by word and said, "Why does the king humiliate his concubines so much?"
King Lu shook his head lightly and said, "You misunderstood what I meant!"
Chen Mink Temple looked at Qi Delong, "Your Highness, come on!"
Zidron involuntarily stretched out his left hand.
Chen Mink Temple took a step forward, the knife in his hand fell, Qi Delong let out an "oops", looked at the tip of his middle finger, and had been cut by Chen Mink Temple.
Seeing the blood flowing out, he couldn't help grinning lightly as he was a child.
Chen Mink Temple was not slow with his hands and feet, he came over with the bowl, pinched Qi Delong's middle finger and squeezed a drop of blood into the bowl, and then let go.
Zidlong hurriedly put his middle finger in his mouth and sucked it gently, biting the bleeding wound with his teeth.
With the means of Chen Mink Temple, take a drop of blood, and never cut out a hole with two drops of blood.
Zheng Qingxue hurriedly summoned Qi Delong to his side and asked in a low voice, "Long'er, does it hurt?"
Qi Delong looked at the fingers that were no longer bleeding, quietly glanced at Chen Mink Temple, and whispered, "It doesn't hurt much." ”
King Lu didn't look at the bowl in Chen Mink's hand, this Qi Delong was naturally his son, and there was no need to recognize his relatives like this.
Maybe it was because he had said a lot of words, King Lu was a little exhausted, so he closed his eyes and eased slightly, Chen Mink Temple put the bowl aside, and pressed one palm against Queen Lu's heart.
King Lu breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and said to Chen Mink Temple: "The last pill is also for this king!"
Chen Diao Temple looked at King Lu's eyes and knew that his intention had been decided, so he took out the small porcelain bottle containing medicine from his arms with his left hand, uncorked it with one finger, and sent it to King Lu's lips and whispered: "King, medicine!"
King Lu opened his mouth slightly, Chen Mink Temple sent the medicine into his mouth, and the well-behaved Ji Daqiang had already poured a glass of water and handed it over.
Chen Mink Temple took the water cup handed over by Ji Daqiang, nodded and said, "Your Highness has a heart." ”
Chen Mink Temple's medicine was shengjin, King Lu chewed a few times and swallowed it with saliva in his mouth, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The water poured on the wall, this king still has to drink a sip." ”
After taking a sip of water, King Lu closed his eyes and rested for a while, opened his eyes and said, "Wall, Long'er, both of you brothers come over and sit next to your father!"
Ji Daqiang walked over and glanced at his half-brother.
Zidlong didn't look at Ji Da Wall, but sat on the bed.
The medicinal power had already had an effect, and King Lu's face was a little more bloody, and his breath was a little even, so he nodded to Chen Mink Temple beside him.
Chen Diao Temple said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to last two hours." ”
Although he had expected such a result, King Lu's heart still trembled slightly, and then he sighed: "It's enough, what you should see, what you should see, what you should say, it's almost finished, this king has no regrets." ”
Chen Diao Temple stood up, and King Lu gently patted the position next to him and said to Ji Da Wall: "Wall, sit here." ”
Seeing this, Zheng Qingxue's expression changed again, but Lu Lubo was overjoyed.
Ji Daqiang sat down, King Lu held Ji Dazhu's hand and said softly: "Wall, Long'er, you two look at the blood droplets in this bowl, there are father's and your brothers' in it, at this moment, the three blood drops are blended together, what is this? This is the blood of my Qi clan." Originally, the wall didn't need to do anything to recognize relatives, but when I saw you for the first time, I knew that you were my son, and doing this was nothing more than to block some people's mouths. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Zheng Qingxue, who was standing aside, and nodded slightly at Wei Long: "I am grateful to have an uncle in Qingzhou." ”
Wei Long opened his mouth, it can be seen that King Lu is like this, this old man who is over the age of sixtieth birthday has tears in his eyes, quietly turns sideways, and does not make a sound.
King Lu continued to say to the two sisters-in-law: "As for the blood of Long'er, this king wants to tell you two brothers, we are a family, you are the closest brothers, brothers with blood and blood, and the descendants of my Qi family. After your father is gone, you two brothers must be brothers, friends and brothers, hand in hand, and continue my Qi family's foundation in Qingzhou. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Qi Delong and said: "Long'er, although you are younger than the wall, but you are only half a year behind, but you are not as well-behaved and sensible as your eldest brother, although you have always grown up by my side, but because of the protection of your father, you act without scruples, and you are less calm, you must listen to your eldest brother more in the future." ”
Qi Delong glanced at Ji Daqiang, and felt that it was good for him to suddenly have such a big brother, as long as the position of King Lu was his own.
Seeing that King Lu had no more advice, Qi Delong whispered, "The child understands!"
At this time, Zheng Qingxue was a little unable to stand, and King Lu's words seemed to be to pass on this great position to that kid.
And Wei Long was frowning at the moment.
King Lu looked at Ji Da Wall, smiled with satisfaction, and said softly: "Wall, you are so sensible, but you can let your father smile at Jiuquan." ”
Ji Da Wall's face was pale, he grabbed King Lu's hand, held back his tears and said: "Mr. Lu told the child that the son wants to raise but does not wait, Daddy, the big wall is reluctant to you." ”
King Lu raised his hand, touched Ji Da Wall's head and said: "Wall, this is fate, no one can go against the sky, you are one year older than De'er, although you have not grown up by my side since you were a child, you are much more sensible than him, and you will have to take care of and help Long'er in the future." ”
Ji Daqiang sniffled slightly, bit his lip and nodded.
King Lu patted the back of Ji Daqiang's hand, and then asked with a smile: "Have you learned a good martial art in Penglai Pavilion?"
Ji Daqiang didn't expect King Lu to suddenly ask about this, nodded lightly and said: "Master said, I have a talent for martial arts, and when I went down the mountain, Master also said that there is nothing left to teach disciples." ”
King Lu smiled and said, "If you have the opportunity, you can learn from Chen Mink Temple. ”
Qi Delong listened to the conversation between King Lu and Ji Daqiang, but he trembled in his heart.
Chen Diao Temple whispered on the side: "How dare the old slave make a move on His Highness!"
King Lu shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that this king can't see the wall like this." ”
Speaking of this, he looked at everyone and said: "The king's decision has been drawn up yesterday and handed over to Chen Mink Temple, don't worry, after I leave, Chen Mink Temple will show you the king's will." ”
After finishing speaking, King Lu suddenly breathed rapidly, his body was weak, and he leaned towards the Ji wall, Chen Diao Temple saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, replacing the Ji wall that supported King Lu, and pressed the heart of Queen Lu with one palm, and the other hand was on the pulse of King Lu.
Ji Daqiang stood at the side of Chen Mink Temple a little bewildered.
King Lu opened his eyes again and glanced at Qi Delong, but he didn't see Ji Daqiang, so he turned his head, and Chen Mink Temple hurriedly turned his head to Ji Daqiang and said, "Your Highness, come here!"
Ji Daqiang knelt directly in front of King Lu's couch and said in a low voice: "Daddy, the child is here!"
King Lu's mouth opened, and he couldn't even say a word, but he couldn't stop panting, and he breathed for a while before muttering: "You two brothers must live well, leave me the queen of the Qi family, and leave the ...... behind."
After speaking, King Lu's body was crooked, and he was angry.
Lu Lubo's body was weak and was supported by Wei Long, who was standing beside her, and Zheng Qingxue, who had cried many times, was not heartbroken as usual, but just turned her head to look at Chen Mink Temple.
There were only two people who cried bitterly, Qi Delong and Ji Daqiang.
Wei Long sighed heavily, the matter has come to this, and the future is more important than sadness.
Hearing that the last order was left yesterday, Zheng Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, while Wei Long sighed secretly.
Seeing that Wei Long and Zheng Qingxue were both looking at him, Chen Diao Temple reached into his arms and took out the last order given to him by King Lu.
——————————————
Bazhou, Ziyang City, Shu Wangfu.
Fan Jingtian, the king of Shu, slowly drank tea.
Wei Tiangang put down the letter in his hand and looked up at the King of Shu who was drinking tea.
There were not many words in the letter, but Wei Shuai read it for a long time.
Naturally, it was not that Wei Shuai was illiterate, but what was said in this letter made the commander of the Bazhou soldiers and horses think for a long time.
The King of Shu put down the tea bowl.
"Wei Shuai, what do you think?"
Wei Tiangang pondered for a moment and said: "If what is said in the letter is true, your subordinates think that they can conspire with it, but will this be a conspiracy in Liangzhou?"
The King of Shu nodded slightly and said: "This king also thinks like this, I didn't expect it, Shangguan Qingyun, the old horseman, still has this brain, when he held high the banner of the Qingjun side, this king is still laughing at his brain, I didn't expect him to be staring at the piece of meat in Tubo." ”
Shaking his head, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "This king has underestimated our Xiliang King, and if he underestimates him, he underestimates himself." ”
Wei Tiangang picked up the tea bowl.
The King of Shu continued: "This letter is indeed the handwritten letter of the King of Xiliang, and the seal letter on it is also the seal letter of the King of Xiliang. ”
When Wei Tiangang heard this, his slightly stiff body straightened, and he turned his head to look at the King of Shu and said, "What does the king mean, fighting?"
The King of Shu smiled and said, "Fight, why don't you fight?"
Wei Tiangang pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, but my Bazhou contribution does not benefit at all. ”
The King of Shu shook his head and said: "Wei Shuai, if this king has the heart to dominate the world, why does he have to stay still all these years?" Originally, I thought that he Shangguan Qingyun was going to be this bird, but now that I think about it, he Shangguan Qingyun is the most shrewd one, Wei Shuai, let me ask you, if he takes Tubo, what is his merit?"
Wei Tiangang nodded slightly and said: "Since ancient times, the scourge of barbarians has always been a big trouble for our Central Plains, and my Great Jin Dynasty has been able to survive for a hundred years, all because the three states of Xiliang, Beiyong, and Northeast Hebei are sticking there, if Liangzhou can take Tubo, this is a great achievement for the benefit of hundreds of millions of people in my Central Plains." ”
The king of Shu bowed slightly: "What this king has sought over the years is just the peace of my Bazhou people, fighting, this king will not take the initiative to fight, after all, the war is the most laborious and costly, but we have to prevent it, we have been guarding against Liangzhou all these years, and now it seems that our soldiers and horses can change their positions." ”
When Wei Tiangang heard this, he looked at King Lu and asked, "What does the king mean by Cloud City?"
The king of Shu nodded and said: "Since the last time Yiping came, after the assassination of his daughter, this king felt that we should be careful of Jingzhou, although he Xie Liangchen gave this king an answer, but this answer did not satisfy this king, but it was just the death of a few people in the rivers and lakes, isn't this a murder? ”
Wei Tiangang was puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, because of this, didn't Jingzhou form an alliance with my Bazhou?"
The King of Shu smiled and said, "Since Liangzhou can send a letter to my Bazhou, presumably Yangzhou will also send someone to win over Jingzhou." Wei Shuai, Xuzhou is already in chaos, I guess Yangzhou has been eyeing Xuzhou, so in order to divert Jingzhou's attention, Wei Shuai, what do you say he Yangzhou will do?"
Wei Tiangang put down the tea bowl in his hand and said in a deep voice: "I want to give Jingzhou some benefits, for Jingzhou, I am afraid that our Bazhou will be a great gift from Yangzhou." ”
The King of Shu nodded and said, "If I were him Yuan Shixin, I would do the same." ”
Wei Tiangang was puzzled: "But King Jiangling can't understand the truth in this?"
The King of Shu shook his head and said: "He Xie Liangchen can see it more thoroughly than anyone else, it depends on how much sincerity Yangzhou gives him, Wei Shuai, I will repair a letter and send someone to Liangzhou secretly, let's cooperate with the King of Xiliang to play this big show, and just test the reaction of Jingzhou." ”
Wei Tiangang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, is there also some additional manpower on the side of Yunshang City?"
The King of Shu nodded and said: "I have sent someone to call Yiping to come to Ziyang City, he is close to Yunshang City, and once Yunshang City is in an emergency, he can quickly rush to help." Wei Shuai, you secretly dispatch all the people from Ziyang City to Yunshang City. ”
Wei Tiangang got up and arched his hand: "The old minister will arrange it, Your Majesty, now that the situation is unknown, do you need to send more people in this house?"
The King of Shu waved his hand and said: "There are enough people in the palace, and there are two masters of the Qingyun Sect guarding here, this king is here, you can rest assured." ”
Wei Tiangang nodded and said, "Then the old minister will retire!"
"Wei Shuai go slowly!"
After Wei Tiangang left, the king of Shu went to his study.
Half a day later, a small trader left Ziyang City, and the secret letter of the King of Shu was hidden in his arms.
————————————
Lu Yiping went to the Dong Mansion with wine again.
The nephew is about to get married, and as an uncle, he naturally wants to congratulate him.
He also had another meaning when he came to the door this time, if it weren't for Dong Xianglin, maybe he would still be in the dark, and his precious daughter Guan Guan would not have the opportunity to meet her sweetheart.
Even if Lu Yiping was reluctant in his heart, he also understood that Lu Guanju would marry sooner or later.
Besides, Yuan Xi's kid is quite pleasing to the eye.
Now Lu Guanju is going out, and he is all guarded by Yuan Xi.
is such an arrangement, Lu Yiping also feels that Xiao Guanguan's heart is less and less free of his place.
He wanted to find someone to drink, and the only one who could really have a few drinks with him was Dong Shixian.
Dong Shixian looked at Lu Yiping, who hadn't come to the door for a few days, and smiled: "Why are you free today, and you are drinking with me again?"
Lu Yiping patted the two jars of wine on the table and said: "Lao Tzu is here with wine, don't say it so ugly, what about the nephew? ”
Dong Shixian said with a smile: "He went to the academy, but he hasn't returned yet, and this kid doesn't know if his brain is open or what, but he has studied much harder than before." ”
Lu Yiping laughed twice and said: "Xianglin is a good boy, but it's a pity that my family doesn't have this blessing." ”
Dong Shixian chuckled and said, "Brother Yiping, didn't you also catch the golden beetle?"
Lu Yiping made a blank face, glared and said: "Eh~ It's about the innocence of the little girl, you can't talk nonsense as an uncle!"
Dong Shixian laughed twice and said: "I said Brother Ping, Yuan Xi, the martial artist of the Yunde Martial Arts Hall, suddenly changed and became the commander of our Zhennan Army, and often traveled with Miss Lu, this is a well-known thing in Pingnan City, why are you hiding with me here?"
Lu Yiping showed an embarrassed look, and said angrily: "It's all nonsense from some women who love to chew their tongues, that Yuan Xi is just a commander of this general, his martial arts are higher, and he is good-looking, if he wants to marry my family Guanguan, it's still a little worse!"
Dong Shixian smiled: "What's missing? With a good father-in-law like you, what else can he miss?"
Lu Yiping glared at Dong Shixian and said: "That Yuan Xi entered my Zhennan Army with his ability, I won't tell you, his skills are personally considered by me, this kid is really powerful!"
Dong Shixian shook his head with a smile and said, "You really have some money here." ”
Lu Yiping snorted and said: "After all, he is so young, and he is such a little-known person, and he was suddenly placed in such an important position, it is inevitable that some people will say that General Ben uses his power for personal gain." ”
Dong Shixian nodded and said: "Especially in the army, if you don't have some real skills, it is really difficult to convince the public, I want to know, you let him not have it at that time." ”
Lu Yiping sneered and said: "Joke, if I don't keep my hand, this kid is afraid that he will already be seriously injured, I don't want to see Guan Guan's complaining eyes every day." ”
Dong Shixian looked at Lu Yiping, whose face did not change, and said, "Is this really the case? How did I hear that Yuan Xi is on an equal footing with you?"
Lu Yiping glared and said, "Who are you listening to nonsense?"
Dong Shixian smiled and said, "But I heard it from my niece." ”
Lu Yiping was stunned for a moment, then looked at Dong Shixian and said, "I said Brother Shixian, you are a little inconsiderate, I have been sitting here for a while, why don't you even have a cup of tea? This water should also be boiled, right?"
It's not that Dong Shixian is inconsiderate, but Lu Yiping's habit of coming to Dong's Mansion to drink and never drink tea.
In his words, Lao Tzu is here to drink, pour so much water, where to put the wine?
Dong Shixian ignored Lu Yiping's interruption and continued to ask: "Seriously, is it really that powerful?"
Lu Yiping saw that he couldn't hide, so he said, "It's only a little bit different from me." ”
But he didn't say whether it was a little higher or a little lower.
After that discussion, Lu Yiping studied it carefully, and then asked Yuan Xi to quietly test his internal strength, and then he had to admit that this kid was a little bit more powerful than him.
Dong Shixian gasped and said: "So powerful? He is not yet the age of a weak crown, so he has such skills, it seems that you are really a golden beetle." ”
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Lu Yiping stopped hiding it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, he shook his head and smiled: "Boy from the mountains, it's just a matter of martial arts, where can you be considered a golden beetle son-in-law!"
Seeing Lu Yiping's smug face, Dong Shixian shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Yuan Xi with my own eyes, when will I be free, can Brother Yiping let me also know this Yuan Shaoxia who is famous in Pingnancheng." ”
Lu Yiping said: "Brother Shixian is the lord of our Pingnan City, but I was negligent, and I will let him come to the house to visit you tomorrow." ”
Dong Shixian smiled: "It doesn't have to be so formal, or I will send someone to find him, so I will take this opportunity today to have a few drinks together?"
Lu Yiping glanced at Dong Shixian strangely.
Dong Shixian didn't know why, so he asked, "Brother Yiping, what's wrong?"
Lu Yiping shook his head and said, "Brother Shixian, I advise you to invite your nephew back first, with your amount of alcohol, I'm afraid that I won't drink enough." ”
Dong Shixian said: "Didn't you invite Yuan Xi to accompany you?"
Lu Yiping thought of Yuan Xi's amount of alcohol, smiled and said: "I think it's better to be exempt, I'll be the east another day, and then arrange for Yuan Xi to accompany you for a few drinks." ”
Dong Shixian nodded and said, "It's okay, then let's have a few drinks today, you have a good amount of wine, just drink more." ”
Lu Yiping smiled and said, "When the time comes, you lie under the table, don't blame me." ”
Dong Shixian stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll give up my life to accompany you today!"
At this time, Dong Xianglin broke in, just about to open his mouth, but when he looked up, he saw that Lu Yiping was also there, so he smiled awkwardly and shouted: "Uncle Lu!"
Lu Yiping said with a smile: "It's Xianglin who is back, I came to ask your father to drink, but you are not at home, uncle is regretting, was it brought back by the smell of wine from uncle?"
Dong Xianglin wanted to speak and stopped, and Dong Shixian saw this and asked, "Aren't you in the academy?"
Dong Xianglin glanced at Lu Yiping, Lu Yiping glared at him and said, "What, what else can't you say in front of me?"
Dong Xianglin thought for a while and said: "Dad, Uncle Lu, I was so angry in the academy just now, that Fu Xinhan was talking nonsense there, and there were many people who echoed it, I couldn't listen to it, and I quarreled with them." ”
Lu Yiping frowned and asked, "Lost?"
Dong Xianglin exhaled angrily: "Uncle Lu, it's not that I can't talk about him, but they are all mixed and gossiping, but there are only three people on our side, so, so ......"
Lu Yiping smiled and said: "There is a way that a good tiger can't stand up to a pack of wolves, you don't lose unjustly, but it's just a matter of learning, it's not who has a high voice, there are many people who speak, the truth is in him, and you still have to listen to the master." ”
Dong Shixian also comforted: "Your Uncle Lu is right, you don't need to be serious with them, you have time to read more books by yourself, ask more gentlemen in the academy, if you have any questions, ask your father, although some truths are noisy, but like what you just said, you can't come to any good conclusions." ”
Dong Xianglin stomped his feet and said: "Dad, Uncle Lu, if it was the truth in the books, I wouldn't quarrel with them, it was Fu Xinhan who made a lot of nonsense and said bad things about Daddy and Uncle Lu, I couldn't get angry when I heard it, so I went to argue with them." ”
"What? Lao Tzu is doing right, sitting up straight, protecting the peace of the party, and there is still a little deflated calf chewing my tongue in the academy?"
Lu Yiping slapped the table.
Dong Shixian stood up, walked to Lu Yiping's side and whispered, "You calm your anger first, listen to what is going on?"
After speaking, he said to Dong Xianglin: "Xianglin, tell me, how did they say that they were father and your Uncle Lu?"
